Schematic showing how the overdensity of the wake Δρ can be estimated by equating its gravitational pull (Fpull) with the dynamical friction force (Fdf) when an SMBH moves with a velocity v in a medium with a density ρ. C in Fdf is just a scaling constant. See the main text for further details and references.
